What mistake did Zaslow make during his interview with Dusty May?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
David Sampson has been waiting patiently for us as he always seems to be. Nothing personal is the name of his podcast. He is always punctual. He never misses. He will continue to do his show like a buzzsaw, even if there are small insects in the room, and he will exterminate them with his hands in order to stay.
Massive animal destruction.
Stay on track. I have some sounds to play for you, David, from the week here. And I'd like you to decide what is the funniest of the sounds. And I think Zaz just topped it with what just happened with Dusty May. But give me your first nominee, Chris Cody. What kind of context does this sound require?
None. Just Tony being an idiot. Crazy three-time belt champion. That's not that bad at all, actually, now that I think about it.
Okay, so. Next. Yes.
And then my nominee. Just know, months down, when this all comes, when the, what is it, the roosters come to.
You're well set. Come on, let's get this. The chickens crawl.
There it is. The roosters come home to roost. When that happens. It's a good one.
Okay, next. Okay, yes. He's taking this seriously.
He's writing stuff down. We got Poppy singing during our live stream.
It's a leader in the clubhouse.
I don't want to be late for the game. It's not one of the lyrics.
And then, of course, Mike B. Luol Deng.
That's not funny. Okay.
How does David Samson defend Zaslow's interview approach?
That's haunting. It's a classic, though. Goosebumps every time. That is haunting. So what is the winner, according to David? We also, though, have a late-arriving nominee here because Jonathan Zaslow, we just had Dusty Mayon. He just won the championship of college basketball, and this is what Zas asked him.
Coach, did the winning feel better than losing in the Final Four with FAU?
What a great question. Wait a minute. Zaz, that is amazing because I assume what you were saying is the expectation was not there to get to the Final Four, and what an unbelievable journey just to get there. So does losing in the Final Four, you're still so happy? No. And when you win a championship with a team that already was supposed to win, you know, that may not be as happy.
Not at all what I was trying to say.
That's a great question.
So...
I mean, thanks for trying to snuff it out, but that's not at all what I was going to ask.
What happened? I need to understand. Take me through, please, a deconstruction of what happened. You waved me off. Yeah. I knew I had a good one.
He waved me off, and you asked him this. Coach, did the winning feel better than losing in the Final Four with FAU? I get it.
Do you? Sometimes it's better to lose late with someone you expected to lose early than it is to win late.
That's not what he was asking. You keep lawyering up for Zazz. That's not what happened. Your client doesn't want this defense.
And also, no, it's not, David.
Yes. No, winning is better than losing.
I feel strongly about that. I'm like a dog with a bone. Winning is better than losing.
How do you feel about losing in the championship game with the Hurricanes?
Awful. One of the worst days of my life.
I would have preferred to have won. No, no. Would you have preferred Notre Dame to be in there instead of you? No. But I prefer winning it. It's not the question, Mike. No, no, no.
That's exactly the question. It was exactly the question.
There are many times that you outperform your expectations when you overshoot the goal, and that has to give you some satisfaction. Sometimes when you win, it's ho-hum, you know, it's time to make the donuts. And there is a chance that Final Four with FAU was as good an experience for him, if not better than winning. The guy told you on air, Hey, I smiled at the stage. I did a little tear at the red light, but now I'm recruiting, trying to fill out dollar bill signs to see who my roster is, and then I'll figure out whether I had fun. You're right back on the hamster wheel, baby.
Having a magical season, surpassing expectations, defying the haters. and making it to the national championship game were all consolation prizes that made me feel a little bit better on one of the worst days of my life there hasn't been a single championship where i've been like well this sucks because let me tell you something that sucked losing to indiana whoa it's still i am forever changed with how much that sucked was the dusty may question better than this question the packers winner the bear lose bears lose
